Not true. It could become self-propogating by using the vulnerability detailed in MS02-068.asp. You could possibly auto-download the file to the harddrive and run something like "mplayer2 bad.mp3".
Of course, I'm just guessing here but I think its possible,

Before jumping to conclusions, read the reply to the "vulnerabilities" on the BugTraq mailing list here. Doesn't look like its something unknown to the public and its really more of a vendor problem, not MS one.
Do you actually think I was talking about taking down a website? Please.
Preventing agencies from communicating with each other would be what someone would do. We all know that the gov'ts security for its computer systems suck. Why not take it down from the inside as well?
The place where I currently work keeps allocating dollars for training, but refuses to actually spend any. They are always so proud because we are always in the CIO top 100 IT depts, but if you look really closely, we are the last in spending money on training. I think the average is $50 per person per year.
Um, sorry, but there wasn't any 'hacking' involved here. The FBI sniffed their id's and passwords on a machine they gave to the Russian crackers and used the information to log into their own computers. I never knew that network sniffing was hacking...guess I better watch our networking people more closely!

In all your shows and movies, you have the best lines. What are your most favorite lines that you've done? Any that you hate?
After looking at what this holiday means, I don't think it has anything to do with this. If I offended anybody, I apologize.
Today is also Jinnah Day. Not sure if that means anything.

I agree 100%. They just pissed off an entire country. Look out.
This is obviously a coordinated terrorist attack. Does anyone know if any cyberattacks are going on in conjunction with this?
I think any puzzle games such as Tetris or Pandora's Box would be good. These are non-violent and actually intellectually stimulating!

Has anyone used this yet? I'm just wondering how this compares to using RedHat or Debian.

Neverwinter Nights isn't a sequel to BG 2. I'd call it the first game to actually bring table top gaming to the computer. This game is gonna rock!
